    Just one episode left

    Even if the masked man identity is predictable and the runtime (just 30 minutes) make this kind of a filler, the performances and the anticippation towards the climax made my heart race. Plus, it contains probably the most infuriating death of them all.

    Amazingly good.

    This was a simple episode but it was good. The scenery and camaera work is beautiful. In the end it sets up the final game.

    Short, but effective!

    This episode was a solid way to set up the finale episode, and I am qctually great that the episode isn't longer, cause I think, things are fairly well paced!

    We qre now told that we are in the finale phase, with only 3 players left! Meanwhile Jin ho desperately tries to get the information he has learned, back to the mainland! This was another case of where the side story was really solid and intense, with a shocking outcome!

    Serving a dinner as a reward was also a great choice! Celebrating that you are in the finale cause all other players have died!

    The end was really emotional to! The game has no sense of justice or mercy, and even if you beat the game... it comes with a price!

    Solid episode

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    8th episode of "Front Man" was the shortest in its run time episode. Yet it was solid, explaining some mysteries and putting few new ones. I liked the pacing of it, and that i brings the story forward finale. Looking forward to see the ending... of season 1 perhaps?

    Only 30 minutes but that's everything!

    I wondered what happened to the length of the episode or if something was wrong, but the truth is, this is a special meal.

    I love everything about this episode, from the lines to the character development. Everything is perfect. I wonder why they didn't do the same in previous episodes, giving the other side characters time to show their own development.

    The story of the character Sebyeok is so good.

    I love the dialogue at the beginning of the episode between Gihun and Sangwoo, I can watch it over and over without getting bored.

    There are still things the director could have done better, like the exploding glass bridge resulting in injury to our girl, it's not convincing. There's no point blowing up the bridge, or the masked guys want more work to do.

    And so did our policeman, who swam to the shore but naively dropped his heavy wetsuit on the ground for the masked men to find out. His story is as bland as his own innocence.

    I just wish our Front man took off his mask earlier (since the audience didn't know him) and showed more emotion. I feel like the director forgot about him in the previous episodes.
